Biden Advises Trump to ‘Stop Attacking’ Medical Professionals and ‘Do His Job’

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is taking a moment to respond to President Donald Trump’s latest claim about health professionals amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

“He said that our doctors, our doctors, our first responders, over a thousand lost their lives, are putting their lives on the line, busting their necks…he said, ‘But they’re making up deaths from COVID because they get more money.’ The president of the United States is accusing the medical profession of making up COVID deaths so they make more money,” Biden said.

He added, “Doctors and nurses go to work everyday to save lives. They do their jobs. 👤Donald Trump should stop attacking them and do his job.”

Biden mentioned Trump’s previous comments about the rate at which Americans were losing their lives to COVID-19.

Watch his comments below:

“This is the same man who weeks ago when he was told we’re losing a thousand lives a day, you remember what he said? He said, ‘It is what it is.’ That’s thoughtful. It is what it is because he is who he is,” Biden said.

He continued, “👤Donald Trump has waved the white flag and surrendered to this virus.”

The president said during his rally Friday, “Our doctors get more money if somebody dies from COVID. You know that, right? I mean our doctors are very smart people,” as IJR previously reported.

He argued, “With us when in doubt, choose COVID. It’s true, no, it’s true. No, they’ll say, ‘Oh, it’s terrible what he said,’ but that’s true. It’s like $2,000 more, so you get more money. This could only happen to us.”

During the final presidential debate, Biden torched Trump for suggesting Americans are “learning to live with COVID,” as IJR previously reported.

“Learning to live with it? Come on. We’re dying with it,” he said.
